Persimmon Cookies

3 Fuyu persimmons, chopped
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 tsp cinnamon, allspice, cloves, cardamom
2 eggs
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Blend the sugar and shortening together.  Add the rest of the dry ingredients.  Mix in persimmons.  Mix in 2 beaten eggs and butter.  Roll into 1.5 inch balls and roll in additional sugar.  Space apart on baking sheet.  Bake for about 30 minutes or until browned.
* I raised the temperature of the oven to 400 about 15 minutes in when it looked like cookies were running together.
